I want to buy a 1080p 21.5 inch monitor for my R9 270x OC as a replacement for "acer g195hql"
I have shortlisted Dell s2240l(HDMI) and Dell s2240m(DVI) .My questions are -
1.DVI or HDMI?
2.They have a response time of 7ms (is that enough for serious gaming?)
3.Both are 60hz (is it fine?)
4.They are Glossy :/ (would it make a differnce , as i have a matt display right now ?)
5.Both are ips backlit led ( is that the best i can get ?)
6.Both have 1000:1 contrast ratio (Is it fine ? [benQ GW2255 has 3000 :1 contrast ratio ] )
7.Any other monitor Under similar price tag (<150$)(How's benQ GW2255)

Will higher refresh rate suck on the graphic card like higher resolution does ?
(I mean will fps of gaming at 1080p@60hz and 1080p@75hz differ?)

Depends how powerful your graphics card. If you playing games at 1080p and have fps of 60 or more, then get the 75Hz. If your graphics card is not that powerful and is playing under 60fps, then get a 60hz. i.e. 1fps = 1hz, so a 60hz monitor can only display 60fps.

LCD's are solid state and never flicker. The difference between 60Hz and 75Hz is that you can have 75 frames displayed per second instead of a max of 60. More frames is generally smoother, but most won't noticed thedifference. After 50+ FPS, it feels pretty comfortable

It is physically impossible for a lcd monitor to maintain a constant fps even from one part of the screen to another due to the response time variance of the crystals themselves.

Also keep in mind, your video card has to be able to deliver 75 FPS in order for you to take advantage of the 75Hz.

But ya, we humans see far more than 60 FPS, but depending on the situation, our concious mind may not be able to notice the difference, but other times it will.
